J Macleod

This seems to be the only one recorded with a father William, wrong month but may have been a late registration?

Bear in mind that the LDS indexed births to 1874, then only 1881 and 1891, so if he was born in 1892 or 1893 he won't be listed in FamilySearch.

There are 20 births of John M(a)cLeods registered in Stornoway in 1891/1892.

The MI reads:

Father, Brothers and Sisters
In
Loving Memory
of
John McLeod
Who Died in
War Hospital, Glasgow
on the
2nd Feb 1918
Aged 27 Years

Is there a record of his burial in the MIs for that burial ground?

PS - I think Sandra usually likes to find living relatives so there is a need to find marriages, etc. for the siblings.

PPS - never visited the Banff Knock.

Just a flying visit as you all seem to have this one under control.  It would be great if we can come forward with siblings if possible

This would definitely appear to have been a late registration on the fathers part.   Have looked at the 1891 entry and this is the one that matches - ref.  088/248.   Parents married 17/12/1874 which is correct i.e. William Macleod married Christina MacLeod 17/12/1874 Garrabosh (?), Stornaway.

John's sister Donaldina born 16/12/1886 Knock, Stornaway (ref.888/397) confirms parents marriage date.

Thought I'd see which daughters were at home on the 1911 re marriages.

1911 Point , Knock

William Macleod, 66, spks G & E, Mar, Crofter,
Catherine, d, 28, Fish Worker
Dolina, d, 24, -do-
Malm, s, 16, Fisherman
William John, s, 14, school

All b Knock, Stornoway (Knock crossed out by coder!)

There are a few marriages/deaths for Dolina/Donaldina but not sure enough to use credits yet.

[Forfarian]

Parents married 17/12/1874 which is correct i.e. William Macleod married Christina MacLeod 17/12/1874 Garrabosh

Probably Garrabost, which is quite near Knock.

Forfarian,

Yes, of course but I was searching specifically for our John (with known details) born 12 April 1891 with father William & mother Christina.

I did an open search with forename & surname only to capture as many as possible for 1891 & scrolled through them all (4 pages) & this was the only entry with both parents' names & a 'near' date i.e. I was highlighting the possibilities when info. in searches with 'known' facts don't quite match especially after the shaky start we had on which John was correct.

I hadn't seen the DC you attached at that point as the alert doesn't show images & I didn't know the mms.

Anyway, for others reading this post who may be searching a John M*cLeod born 1891 this may assist their search on familysearch.org...
